A comparison of subsurface biodegradation rates of methanol and tertiary butanol in contaminated and uncontaminated sites
The use of alcohols as inexpensive octane enhancers in gasoline has contributed to an increased concern about the potential contamination of groundwater. Being highly soluble in water, alcohols may easily separate from other, more insoluble gasoline components, and rapidly enter the groundwater flow...
